Gone short dow 18117
Closing at 18,000 near as.

markets fully pricing in hillary win
This isn't looking good. Smart money betting trump win considering risk reward is BREXITNORMOUS

Had 90% margin available with FXCM at the weekend.

Now sitting at 60% Monday morning, some big margin increases.

God help the punter who was sitting on 30% available or less over the weekend

Up 240 pre market, that wont make it past 10am New York time.

That gap is so large you could fit Kim Kardashian's @rse in it.

G'day,

Added some funds to my account over the weekend for margin increases! Just as well...

held a very small stakes ftse long over the weekend (from 6670) and believe it or not (as I don't normally trade fx) a cable short (small stakes)... based on probability of markets oversold last week on US election narrative (cable same plus Brexit high court judgement overreaction).

Now I know we all whinge about the broker when gapped in the opposite direction but they gave me the gap up past my limit....:cheesy:

Thinking pump into election and sell off afters.. (cable and index)

ftse sp 6770 and rez 6800 atm.

Sitting on my hands for now!

Generally financial markets prefer the status quo, ie always prefer a candidate who give continuity with the previous presidency to a candidate who can take little predictable contours. This preference overrides any political color; markets simply prefer the less uncertain candidate.

this is looking VERY familiar
